Celebrating 125 Years of Army Football

This year marks the 125th Anniversary of the Army Football Association (AFA).

One of the major events to mark this occasion is a charity match against an FA Legends team at the Madejski Stadium, Reading, on Saturday 18 May. This, together with a variety of fixtures and events over 2013/ 2014 forms part of the Football Associations 150th Anniversary celebrations.
